Cattewater Wreck
The Cattewater Wreck is a wooden three-masted, skeleton-built vessel, one of many ships that have wrecked in Cattewater, Plymouth Sound, England. This wreck is close to the entrance of Sutton Harbour, its name is still unknown but it is believed to be from the 16th Century.
==History==
The wreck was found in 1973〔Carpenter A. et al, 1974, Interim report on the wreck discovered in the Cattewater, Maritime Monographs and Reports No13〕 when a dredger being used to deepen the Cattewater brought up timber wreckage and parts of some iron guns.〔English Heritage, http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/conWebDoc.6557〕 An underwater investigation of the site in 1973 was instigated by the National Maritime Museum and the Department for the Environment. The investigation produced a provisional site plan and included the more controlled recovery of loose wreckage including concreted fragments of an iron breech loading cannon. The hull structure was the lowest section of hull from one end past the midships area, where the dredging work had caused extensive damage. Based on the assessments the site was recommended for designation under the British Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 and the site was designated under order No 1. Further recording and excavation work on the site was carried out between 1974 and 1978.〔Bax A. and Farrell R., 1976, Cattewater wreck 1st Interim Report International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, 5: 346〕〔Mortlock B. and Redknap M., 1978, The Cattewater Wreck, Plymouth, Devon: Preliminary results of recent work, International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, 7.3 p195-204〕 A substantial portion of the structure and a wide variety of finds were recovered, including pottery, worked wood, a brass pin and buckle, various lead objects, leather, rope, textiles, animal bone and a number of wrought iron stave built guns on sledges.〔Redknap M., 1984, The Cattewater Wreck: The investigation of an armed vessel of the early sixteenth century, BAR British Series 131 NMN ARC. Series no 8, Oxford〕 The present knowledge is based on less than 50% of the surviving structure.
The Cattewater ship belongs to a period of developing ship design bordering the revolution in naval construction taking place around 1480 to 1525 and the appearance of the first English evidence for mathematically based formula for ship lines c. 1580. Positive identification of the ship has not been possible although the archaeological evidence strongly suggests an early 16th-century merchantman of between 200 and 300 tons burden.
